Posting etiquette question K.J. 44 10-23-06

Hi,

I have a question, is it considered bad etiquette to repost a question
if an answer was never received? For instance, I never had a single
response on:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.dcom.sys.cisco/browse_thread/thread/9f2b68096fbd885f

Is it okay to repost the question or will that be bad board etiquette?
Because i am in a bind with these VPNs and need some help.

Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

The remote peer is not responding to the client's request to establish
the connection.

Make sure you can ping the remote peer, or check remote peer logs for
why it is not responding to the client.

Sincerely,

The outside IP address of the ASA is being Natt'ed won't affect the
fact that this is the IP I am trying to connect my VPN to?

Thanks.

Usually the reason there was no answer is because no one could answer it
well. And reposting a few days later is not likely to change that.

It was bad etiquette the first time, to post a config trimmed down too
far for us to be able to debug the problem. We need to see
access-list 110, and we need to know whether you have sysopt
connection permit-ipsec, and if you do not then we need to see
inside_access_in and outside_access_in

You should also be considering that the documention indicates that
you should not use group 2 with AES-256: you need group 5.

You also haven't shown us anything from debug crypto ipsec
or debug crypto isakmp
